Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom patch 1.03 introduces Hard and Extreme difficulty modes

Bandai Namco has released patch 1.03 for Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom , which introduces the long-requested feature of higher difficulty modes.  This follows patch 1.02, which introduced some quality-of-life changes and technical improvements.

In addition to the Normal mode, players can now set the game to Hard or Extreme difficulties at any time. Not only do these modes increase the level of challenge, but will also offer players better rewards when playing. Dropped item parameters are increased when playing on Hard or higher, and the chance to obtain rarer items will also improve. You can even begin to obtain rare accessories with two skill slots. A couple of new skills have also been added.

Finally, some more bugs have also been squashed, including one involving using the airship in certain places on the world map. Check out a new trailer that gives a quick look at these new additions:

Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is expected to get future DLC content soon as mentioned in the Season Pass, but so far nothing concrete has been announced.
